Guitar Hero III is probably on a good percentage of children's Christmas wish lists this year. If they're lucky it will also be under the tree...I must confess that I, too, have become somewhat enamored with this musical video game and kind of fancy myself a bit of a "rocker mom". (I'm not quite sure if this embarasses or secretly delights my two sons.)
I also have a Guitar Hero on my personal Christmas wish list...but THIS Guitar Hero - although nicely packaged - doesn't come in a box. MY guitar hero is none other than Presidential candidat
e Mike Huckabee and my wish is that he will be elected in 2008!
Huckabee has been enjoying quite a surge in popularity in recent weeks - no doubt because people are getting to see and hear him more. People are starting to pay attention and, in my opinion, it's hard NOT to "like Mike" after taking the time to look and listen. You get the sense that he's "for real" and speaks from his heart. You get the sense that his heart is a good heart - one that doesn't lack compassion. Listening to Mike Huckabee speak is a pleasure if you are one that enjoys hearing ideas communicated with eloquence, sensibility, intelligence

and charm. His ideas are like a breath of fresh air in some cases - especially his support of the Fair Tax. Mike Huckabee would like to completely do away with the IRS (do I hear any cheers from the crowd?)...he would like April 15th to be "just another pretty spring day". I encourage you, if you haven't already, to do a bit of research on the Fair Tax and what it would mean for our economy...in a nutshell, however, it would replace income, dividend, capital gains and death taxes with a simple 23% consumption tax...just THINK about the revenue this country would gain from the "undergrounders" alone!
"I Like Mike" for other reasons too (including, I must say, his incredibly cute dimples). He seems to understand the urgency and necessity of the United States becoming energy independent and has promised to be aggressive in this area. He has also drafted a nine-point Secure America Plan which makes a lot of sense to me (check it out on his website http://www.mikehuckabee.com/ ).
Mike Huckabee is not only number one in my mind as he is currently leading the Republican candidates in the Iowa Caucus...39% compared to Romney at 23% and Giuliani in the single digits.
This next Presidential election is CRITICAL, especially considering who the Democratic front-runners are. Those who know me well know that I've never been particularly "political" - but there is something about THIS race...something about THIS candidate that has motivated me to do things I never thought I would - including putting bumperstickers on my Mercedes! Seriously though - do you want to know the REAL reason I care so much about who our next President will be? Actually I have TWO REASONS...TWO SONS. What loving and good mother wouldn't want to have a part in shaping her children's future world. I pray that my boys will be able to live a full and wonderful life in this blessed country - one nation under God with liberty and justice for all - free from the fears of terrorism and nuclear war, poverty and enviromental disasters. I pray that our country will get back on track. At times it seems we are on a one-way path to utter destruction. In 2008 we need to elect a new kind of leader - a man of character, a man of strength, a man of God - we need Mike Huckabee!
